Description
The garden walls and attached storage buildings lie to the rear of Marske Hall. The walls enclose two rectangular gardens north of the hall, with the storage building situated in the south-west corner of the southern garden, projecting into the yard of Marske Hall.
The south boundary wall is high, constructed of squared sandstone with two courses of gabled coping featuring roll moulding. The inner face is supported by three wide stone buttresses with sloped coping to two offsets. A 20th-century gateway has been inserted, providing access to sheltered housing within the garden; a section of the original wall to the east was removed to accommodate this, with stonework seemingly reused in later garden walls and as a building plinth.
The west and east walls of both gardens are lower, combining stone in the lower courses with brick above, both topped with gabled stone coping. The west wall of the south garden is ramped upwards towards its north end. Four buttresses support the south garden wall and three support the north; the latter are supplemented by modern steel supports. A blocked, flat-headed doorway is found at the south end, now filled with stonework. The east wall has modern steel columns supporting the inner face and stone buttresses on the external face towards Hall Close, with later building obscuring part of the section to the south garden.
The north wall features stone in the lower courses and brick above, with modern steel columns on the inner face. Upper courses have been rebuilt using later handmade bricks and, at the time of inspection, repair work to the eastern section remained incomplete, as planning permission had been granted for an access point to be created.
The dividing wall between the two gardens is of brick with gabled stone coping, stepped upwards towards the west before dropping in height at the western end. It has five buttresses to the north face, constructed of stone, brick, and a combination of both. The east end stops short, creating an opening between the gardens, and a round-headed brick opening is situated at the west end.
The single-storey storage building is constructed of squared sandstone with a renewed pantile roof. Stone corbels support the stone gable coping. Features include a boarded door facing the south garden on the east elevation, and a small four-pane window in the north gable end. The projecting section into the yard has a matching window on the east elevation and a boarded door on the south gable end. The interior of the storage building was not inspected.
A lean-to brick shed, likely from the 19th century and with missing roof coverings, stands adjacent to the round-headed opening in the north garden. Its interior is largely plain except for metal hooks fixed to the garden cross wall, which forms the rear wall of the shed. A chimney stack with fittings for a stove is located at the south-east corner.
